Development & Outreach Intern
Vor 3 Tagen
Development & Outreach Division
Application Deadline: 12 July 2024
The Development and Outreach Department of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking an intern in our Geneva office. This three-month internship will be full-time, maximum 35 hours per week. Ideally, the candidate will be available starting in mid-September 2024 to mid-December 2024.
This internship is best suited for those individuals interested in gaining development and fundraising experience in a large, well-organized, international non-profit organization. Interns will gain knowledge and skills in research, database management, event management, and fundraising. The intern will also learn about the organization's priority human rights issues. In order to provide a valuable and well-rounded internship experience, interns will attend planning and department meetings with staff and will have the opportunity to take advantage of in-house trainings and briefings.
Responsibilities: The internship will focus on event planning in the lead-up to our biggest fundraising event of the year, HRW Geneva’s 2024 Annual Dinner, taking place on Thursday, 7 November. Tasks will include assisting with annual dinner logistics, editing creative materials, liaising with event vendors, writing acknowledgment letters and other correspondence, coordinating donor communication, engaging donors, using databases, and conducting desk research for development and outreach projects. The intern will be an active member of HRW's Development and Outreach department and will intern closely with other staff members to identify and create opportunities for donor involvement in HRW by keeping existing and prospective supporters informed of our work.
Students will also have opportunities to attend online lectures, trainings, professional development workshops, special events relating to human rights, as well as network with other HRW inters, volunteers, and employees. As an HRW intern, students will take skills acquired in school and apply them in a professional setting.
Qualifications: Applicants enrolled in an undergraduate-level academic program for the duration of the internship are highly preferred. In some circumstances, applicants can be recent graduates of their first degree (such as a Bachelor’s) who will be pursuing an advanced degree (such as a master’s or law degree). Strong oral and written communication skills in both English and French are required, as well as advanced computer skills (Microsoft Office suite, Internet applications). Previous internship experience preferred but not mandatory. Applicants should demonstrate great attention to detail, a positive attitude, a proactive approach, and excellent organizational skills. They should be disciplined self-starters who can work independently but also function as a team member. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to human rights and/or international issues and the ability to master and represent the mission and program of HRW.
Applicants who are offered an internship, but who are not Swiss or EU citizens or permanent residents, must possess valid work authorization in Switzerland for the duration of the internship.
Compensation: Interns will receive a gross monthly stipend of CHF 1,550 per month, to help offset living expenses in accordance with HRW policy and the intern. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships may offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
